Meet Erin Vey

I am a dog lover first.

A photographer second.

By some random chance of fate, I was able to combine the two loves into the coolest job ever: A Dog Photographer

Most of my childhood was spent with various Basset Hounds of the lovable but extremely stubborn variety. We never had less than 2 at any given time, sometimes 3, and the occasional stray that one of us would bring home for a visit.

After a short stint doing portrait work, which I still love, I realized my true calling is capturing the essence and personality of dogs. Upon reflection, I feel that my time doing portrait work was not wasted. Because of it, my experience with portrait work flows beautifully into working with people and their dogs.

My husband and I are owned by the fabulous Miss Gracie, a 5 year old Great Dane who brings energy and life into our house.

A few more from our impromptu, 10 minute, Christmas Eve shoot. I lied in my previous post whenI said she was waiting for Santa. She was really waiting for her favorite person in the entire world: Grammy :) I think these shots are probably some of my favorite of the Gracers for 2009.

My nephew has been in town this week and I’ve been having a blast hanging out with him. For the most part Gracie is pretty good at figuring out how to avoid him. She doesn’t like that he gets as much attention as she does and she feels the need to ‘manage’ us the entire...
